Hugh Jackmans Real Steal Trailer

The trailer for the professional robot fighting movie Real Steel debuted the other day, much to the ridicule of most of the internet. That how it seemed to me at least.

Based on the short story “Steel” by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), Real Steel follows a human boxer (Hugh Jackman) made obsolete by the popularity of robot fighters. He sees a chance to get back into the game by building and training his own robot.

And, I gotta say, despite the involvement of Shawn Levy (Date Night) I really like this trailer, mostly based on Hugh Jackman and the many instances of robots punching one another. Lookit: one has a mohawk!

If the robots can talk, Real Steel has potential to be a personal favorite.
